Konami recently announced that it will show off its upcoming vampire-slaying title Boktai in Tokyo on April 26-27. A complete itinerary has not been revealed, but it will include a public demonstration of the game at Odaiba Palette Plaza.

Hideo Kojima, the mastermind behind Metal Gear Solid, is the producer of Boktai, and the game will allow the use of a special photosensitive device to capture sunlight and power up the main character. The game and the device together will cost 4,980 yen (approximately $42 in U.S. funds).

Boktai will arrive in stores in Japan on July 17 of this year, but a North American release has not been announced.
